The rare event algorithm described in this paper [1]}, [2]}, [3]}
can greatly help to compute large deviation rate functions for large
values of the anomalies that cannot be accessed with a direct approach.
This method was never used for systems of the complexity of a numerical
climate model, until in [4]} we have used it to
study European heat waves. In this paper we have used it for the explicit
task of computing large deviation rate functions, highlighting its
connection to large deviation theory. The recipe presented in this
paper can be easily replicated for climate studies on different observables
and with different climate models.
